'Pitiful' Texans fall victim to one of the worst fumbles you'll see (NFL in 90)

Kevin Kaduk

Everything you need to know about the Houston Texans 2015 season was summed up during one bizarre play in Sunday's second quarter against the Atlanta Falcons.

That's when running back Arian Foster took a handoff, only to see the ball punched free by his own right tackle, Derek Newton. What's worse is that the play looked almost intentional (watch it in full here) and the ball was returned by a Falcons defender Desmond Trufant for a touchdown in the Falcons' 48-21 win..

So what gives?

"I was getting ready to turn around," Newton told ESPN's Tania Ganguli.  "He was right there and I hit him somehow. Turned into a real bad play."

The Texans, meanwhile, have turned into a real bad team with JJ Watt deeming his squad "pitiful" after the loss to the Falcons. They're 1-3.

We cover all that and more in this week's edition of NFL in 90.
